Pullman R46

Discover the R46, an iconic Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) that has been a cornerstone of the New York City Subway system since its construction by Pullman between 1975 and 1978.

These robust trains underwent a significant refurbishment between 1990 and 1992, ensuring their continued service and reliability for millions of commuters.

With a top speed of 89 km/h and operating in four-car formations, each measuring 22.86 meters in length, the R46 provides a total train length of 91 meters, perfectly suited for the dense urban environment.

Featuring a standard gauge of 1435 mm and powered by a 600 V DC third-rail system, the R46 is built for the demanding conditions of the United States railway network, specifically within New York City.

Its impressive dimensions, including a width of 3.05 meters and a height of 3.68 meters, contribute to its high passenger capacity and operational efficiency, making it a vital part of the city's public transportation infrastructure.
